FlySafair adds new aircraft, ups capacity

FlySafair will increase its overall capacity by just over 25 000 seats per month after adding two new-generation Boeing 737 800s to its fleet.

The new aircraft are scheduled to enter service this month and late April, and will see the airline’s B737 800s increase to five, upping the fleet total to 14 aircraft.

The first new aircraft is already loaded on the airline’s schedule and will operate on the Johannesburg-Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg-East London, and Johannesburg-Cape Town routes, as well as the Johannesburg/Durban routes on weekends.
